Frida had loads of symbols that she used in her art work one of them is the humming bird. The Hummingbird is a Mexican symbol meaning good luck. After reading what she had been through sounds like she needs all the luck she can get. Her painting medium was oil, on canvas, on masonite and on metal.

Frida Kahlo created 200 art paintings; Self Portrait with Monkey is one of her most famous paintings. It measures 16" x 12", is an oil on Masonite done in 1938, and is at the Albright-Knox Art Gallery in Buffalo, NY. Most of her masterpiece paintings are self-portraits that also incorporated topics seldom seen in Western art, like abortion and childbirth. Friday Kahlo was born in 1907 and died in 1954.
Oil paint is paint with an oil base. It cannot be removed with water, only turpentine or paint thinner will get rid of it.
Only if you paint the food.
Safflower oil is used to dilute oil paint and is the base for many oil paints, but is not a solvent. A solvent dissolves the paint completely. Adding more oil to oil paint will only thin the color out into the solution. To dissolve oil paint use a odorless thinner available through art supply stores or turpentine (preferably odorless, a lot of people have a bad reaction to turpentine). Safflower oil will work if you want to thin the paint but will not clean your brushes.
Linseed oil does not damage paint. Linseed oil is used along with turpentine in oil paints as a type of paint thinner. Linseed oil extends the life of oil paint, makes it easier to thin out, control the paint and paint layers.
